Excerpt from Pot-Boilers I can imagine myself printing under that classic excuse, which has the merit of being in the grand literary tradition and as disingenuous as another for in these days an author is not more hungry than every one else, and my friends would have been the first to pardon my silence. You may take it for certain, by the way, that when a man says he is publishing at the instance of two or three friends he means that he is offering the public what he knows that the public could have done perfectly well Without. He means that he is printing neither to persuade nor to inform nor yet to express the truth that is in him, but simply to gratify an itch for such notoriety as the careless attention of a few thousand readers may be supposed to give. If I now contrive to escape the consequences of my own axiom it is thanks to you, My Publisher - or Publisher's representative must I say? (you are so very modest, my dear Whitworth, and so exact.)
